What's in a name?

I'm not talking about real names. No, that's a whole other discussion for another day. I'm talking about nicknames for baby until we know what it's going to be.

The most popular nickname seems to be "Peanut". I lovingly called it our "little cheese doodle", until my husband nixed all food oriented nicknames. This also put the brakes on my "little tortellini", too.

You think it's stressful picking out a real name? Nah. We've had those picked out since long before we were married. The hardest part has been figuring out what to call baby until we know if we have a boy or a girl. In the Twilight series, Bella calls her unborn baby "Little Nudger". I've had friends who have called their unborns "Peapod", "Ziggy", "Tadpole" and "Lovebug", but none of those seem to fit our little one.

We considered nicknaming it "Bulldog", but I do not want to encourage it to come out looking like or weighing anything close to one of the Uga dawgs.
